New Home... Room 103 [OPEN]

[Roxas Mitsukai]

I went walking in the dorm carrying my things I was wearing my black cloak. Here I thought the school will be different than the schools I've been to but seems to me it was just the same. Nothing out of the ordinary...

I walked in the boys dorm I noticed the board and went near it. I read what it says. Then I just head to my room 103 after getting inside I threw my luggage near the empty bed and threw myself at the soft bed. My hood got off revealing my blond hair and blue eyes. Though it didn't bother me, what bothered me was what my mom said before I left.

"You remember the old couple back in Japan. From what I know their grand daughter was actually an Alice. Maybe you'll see her there who knows."

Now I wonder, is she really here. If so then what am I suppose to say when I see her.

"Hey there it's been a long time. Remember me, I used to live in Japan and we used to play together..." I said to no one in particular.

Yeah right something like that sounds stupid I'll just make a fool of myself. I opened my luggage and took the picture frame of me and my childhood friend.

"It's been eight years already. Even if I did find her there's no way she'll remember me..." I muttered

[Xena]

"Oriiikaaaa~..."

A ghostly moan echoed along the male dormitory halls. A few students dared to peek outside. Some might not even notice. "Oriiikaaaa~..." It came again, and both times it escaped only my lips. I didn't know why the heck I'm wailing Orika Ethellion's name, but hell there are a lot of things I don't understand in this world.

I snickered past a closed room, room 101 was it, and sneaked my way across the hall. "ORIKA!" I screeched, transforming my appearance instantly - same hair as the said girl, same eyes, and the same facial features. Almost immediately, the pain surged through my spine as the wings sprouted and the tail. I quickly covered the evidence of Alice use with my orange hoodie that reached to my knee.

Now the hoodie covered the blue-and-white dress I was wearing as well. I stopped by room 103, peeked inside and said meekly in a soft and hushed voice, "Hello there."

[Roxas Mitsukai]

I was still looking at the photo when suddenly a voice came from outside my room caught my attention. The voice was a female considering that I'm in boys dormitory but that wasn't the thing that caught me it was what the voice was yelling...

"Oriiikaaaa~..."

Orika that name could it be? No maybe I'm just thinking things too much that I'm hearing her name. I put the frame down with care.

"Oriiikaaaa~..."

There it was again and this time I was sure I wasn't imagining it. I sat up from the bed, then someone came in my room wearing a hood.

"Hello there."

From the sound of the voice it was a girl. I looked at her with my usual serious look around strangers. I don't why I do it, but I just do maybe it's because I don't trust people easily unlike before. Whose to blame Rico Coriander, that's right my ugly step father.

"Hey..." I said with a hardened expression. "Where you the one yelling Orika out there?" I added curious, if she said yes, then I probably will have a lead to where Orika is.

[Xena]

I smiled cheerfully, "Well, yes. I am the only female in the boy's dormitory at the time."

I placed my hands behind my head, the jacket rising slightly enough to reach my upper thighs. My expression was replaced by a confused appearance before I said the words, "At least, I think I am." Yet the puzzled outlook was instantly replaced by my cheerful disposition afterwards. The words flowed out of my lips as if naturally.

"I was wailing though," and with it, a girlish giggle.

[Roxas Mitsukai]

Sweet words ringing in my ears.

"You know Orika, Orika Ethellion?" I said. "Is she here?" I added looking at the girl with serious look.

I thought I was being a little rude asking her with questions at once.

"Oh sorry the name's Roxas..." I said. "I happen to be Orika's friend, childhood friend. My mom said she might be here, so I guess she is." I added.

[Xena]

"Yeah. I know Orika."

I groaned inwardly, thinking if he'll ever let me in his room. Standing in the halls would let the dorm bots catch a female in the opposite gender's dormitory. Especially since I look like Orika Ethellion; who would recognize the student council vice-president if she's in another form?

All right, he did remember polite manners, but it should have come second to inviting me in. But boys are different people from each other, after all. I couldn't expect the same suit be played by every male I meet. "I don't think Orika is here in the male dormitory," I replied three beats too late to his second question. "The last time I saw her, she took away my memories accidentally."

"But if you're asking," I continued, examining the other possible answer to his question, "if she is studying here in Alice Academy, well of course. I never would have known her if she doesn't." Inching my neck side to side, I dropped my hands into my hoodie's pockets, rubbing the cloth. I took a deep breath and sighed loudly.

"Any more questions, Roxas?" I inquired kindly. Maybe I should just go get some sleep in my One Star bed, I thought grimly. Come to think of it, Hiei is a Two Star now. Darn, I remembered.

OOC: Let's say this thread happened before the second field trip, making my last meeting with her... Months ago maybe.

[Roxas Mitsukai]

Now I know she's here somewhere... I was thinking when it hit me. What's a girl doing the boys dorm isn't that forbidden.

"Umm, why were you looking for her earlier?" I asked.

I looked at her and noticed that she somehow resembles Orika in a way.

"Forget what I just said..." I said waving my hand in the air and stood up.

I put my hood on.

"If you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way..." I said. "And aren't girls allowed here in the boys dorm..." I added concerned.

Well I figure if she gets caught isn't that punishment, since she helped me figure out Orika was here. I wouldn't want her to get into trouble now would I.

[Xena]

"I wasn't--" I was cut short with his insistance for me not to answer his first question. I shrugged, yet I continued to grin, although I was silently disappointed that he had to leave soon. Oh well. "I'm allowed in the boys' dormitory," I stated, my attitude wavering slightly to be replaced with a calming and authoritative tone. "I'm the vice president." And incredibly, I transformed back to my original appearance.

Crimson hair, and yes - crimson eyes as well, not its true color of Pacific blue. I forgot the crimson-colored contacts, and besides if I did wear it, then when I transform my eyes would still be crimson ((see avatar)).

"But," I continued, the tone almost immediately swapping back to my cheerful demeanor. "A lot of girls get lost in the boys' dorm anyway," I giggled. "Well, you should probably be going now, right?" I reminded him and possibly myself as well, mentally slapping myself for somehow taking his free time. "I should be going too," I realized, looking at the watch on my right wrist.

Moving out of his way and out of the door way, uttering a loud enough farewell as I speed-walked my way to the exit of the boys' dormitory and to the entrance of the female dorms.

[Roxas Mitsukai]

After seeing her go I immediately went out. I can't wait until I see her, hopefully she still remembers me. I walked heading to wherever my feet will take me to...

[Orika Ethellion]

Orika went out of her room. She ran out of coloring materials so she needs to go to Central Town, when she was walking in the halls of the girls dorm she saw Xena heading her way.

"Hi Xena, hey where you the one wailing my name back there?" Orika asked.

Orika did hear someone wailing her name, in a ghostly manner.

[Xena]

Bumping to Orika Ethellion herself after an encounter with a boy looking for her was sheer luck. "Yeah I was the one," I replied back, still giddy and jumpy yet already wanting to rest in bed. "By the way, someone was looking for you Orika," I added as an afterthought, as if just remembering that Roxas was looking for her earlier.

"He said his name was Roxas," I stated but sounded uncertain. After giving a little shrug I continued. "He said you were a childhood friend of his."

[Orika Ethellion]

"By the way, someone was looking for you Orika,"

Xena said.

"Someone looking for me?" Orika muttered. "Maybe it's Hime-senpai..." she thought.

"He said his name was Roxas,"

Xena said.

"Roxas..?" Orika thought somehow the name sounded familiar.

"He said you were a childhood friend of his."

When Xena said childhood friend that's when Orika remembered her childhood friend back in Japan, but had moved and never heard of since.

"Roxas is in Alice Academy..." Orika said. "Does that mean his an Alice as well?" she thought. "Thanks for telling me Xena." she added and left.

Orika went out of the dormitory. She went to Central Town phaps she might bump to him along the way.
